I think you mean side accel here?

Well, what's in the tree right at the moment is: /position /velocities /accelerations /orientation /controls (fdm input) /surface-positions (fdm output) /engine /gear (I think these are all that are relavant to the list above) For me, these all seem pretty reasonable. There is some quirky stuff, like angle of attack in /velocities which is not really intuitive but arguably ok since its derived from velocity components. I don't know how to avoid this kind of thing, though. > > > All the best, > > > David > > -- > David Megginson > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel -- Tony Peden [EMAIL PROTECTED] We all know Linux is great ... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds. -- attributed to Linus Torvalds _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
